Here is a poster I designed for a friend’s fundraising rock show in support of local independent radio CKDU FM here in Halifax.

This poster started just over a week ago when I began experimenting with an organic multicolored background to see what sort of effect it might hold. I documented it a bit on my Twitter as I built the overlays, and kept chipping away at it on my own time.

Here are a few different iterations of the design as I progressed.

For some reason, I’ve been wanting to design a poster with a giant polar bear for over a year now so when Tiina approached me to design a poster for this event, I thought it was a good opportunity to sneak it in. I wanted this to look Canadian, and there is certainly some Scott Hansen and Mike Orduna influence here with the wildlife and spray effects.

I will be adjusting this design over the next little while before it is made available in the Signalnoise Store. The show is happening on October 10th at Rock Garden here in Halifax.
